Sweater-wearing cat returns home Christmas morning

A Halifax woman had a very Merry Christmas after her seven-month-old black cat ‘Meow-Meow’ returned home.

Meow-Meow went missing Sunday evening, near North and Clifton streets, wearing a festive red sweater with the Peanuts’ character Snoopy on the back.

Owner Chantelle Rideout was thankful to have him back.

“3 a.m. on Christmas morning, and we found Meow-Meow!Thanks everyone for your help and kindness!” she tweeted.

Rideout was especially worried because Meow-Meow is an indoor cat.

“We’re hoping, a little bit, for a Christmas miracle and that he makes it home by Christmas,” said Rideout, a few days after her cat ran away.

In terms of Meow-Meow’s festive Christmas sweater, Rideout said it’s not his only outfit.

“We just bought him a couple of shirts and people said he probably wouldn't like them but he at least doesn’t seem to mind them. He always has one on,” she said.
